“The science is more than clear: grizzly bears have recovered and far exceeded every federal recovery benchmark. Today, Interior is returning conservation leadership to the Western states instead of Washington bureaucrats,” Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum said.There have been multiple attempts to delist grizz from the Endangered Species Act (ESA), but both ultimately failed in court. This proposal marks a different approach. Grizzly bears would remain listed on the ESA, but under section 4(d), the federal government will concede grizzly management to the states.“The grizzly bear recovery story is one of America’s great conservation successes,” Montana Governor Greg Gianforte…

The dog days of summer have arrived, and we’re all dreaming about cool fall mornings filled with rutting bucks and bugling bulls. Instead of daydreaming, get out there and scratch the itch by setting trail cams, prepping stands, and summer scouting. That way, you’re fully prepared and out of excuses by the time opening day arrives.In the meantime, to help alleviate our collective hunger for hunting season, we want to see your best trail cam photos. It could be the biggest buck you’ve captured, a late-night raccoon rave, or a black bear scratching that itch—any shot you’d be proud to…

On June 24, an Oregon-based environmental group filed a lawsuit that could have broader ramifications for public land conservation across the country. Cascadia Wildlands, which bills itself as “defending Cascadia’s wild ecosystems in the forest, in the courts, and in the streets,” is challenging a Bureau of Land Management (BLM) timber sale in Western Oregon. But what’s particularly noteworthy is how the organization is doing so.Specifically, Cascadia is arguing that the Aloha Trout Forest Management Project violated the Administrative Procedure Act because it was never reviewed under the Congressional Review Act (CRA). This rationale is part of a broader debate…

Earlier this year, we attended Range Ready’s “Plinkapalooza,” a celebration of all things rimfire. There were “friendly” competitions, devious challenges and straight-up feats of marksmanship on display, with most firearms chambered in .22 LR, but also some .17 HMR and .22 Mag. represented. Firearms, both handgun and rifle, as well as various ammunition offerings, sound suppressors and even a few super-secret new products were unveiled. Smith & Wesson brought a number of firearms to the event, two of which we discussed with Dave O’Connor, Smith & Wesson’s media partnership relations manager: the FPC in .22 LR and the new M&P22X…

When an armed citizen took his Glock out of a safe in his vehicle and engaged an active murderer on May 11, 2026, on Memorial Drive in Cambridge, Mass., (a major roadway along the Charles River near Boston), he likely saved a lot of lives. The civilian, who reportedly had served as a Marine and was a licensed concealed carrier in the state, heroically engaged the gunman from cover. The would-be murderer shot at this armed citizen who has decided to keep his name out of the press. His car ended up with several bullet holes in it, but he…

Moultrie’s new Edge 4 Solar looks to mitigate the problem all trail cameras share—battery life. Between the new, larger solar panel and the included rechargeable battery, you can reduce your battery budget and trips to change them out. Moultrie’s newest version of the Edge doesn’t reinvent the wheel. Instead, it makes subtle, thoughtful improvements to an already feature-rich trail camera.I was able to get my hands on the Edge 4 Solar before it dropped. Here are my initial thoughts.Specs and Features Network: Connects to any of the Big 4 Memory: Built-in Power: Includes rechargeable battery Max Photo Resolution: 40 MP…

When the marketplace of micro-compact handguns took off, many manufacturers began rolling out their own take on the easily carried 9 mm handgun, but for years, there was one clear exception: Heckler & Koch USA. All that changed when the company launched its CC9, which proved to be one of the most robustly built micro-compact handguns yet made. Watch our “American Rifleman Television: Rifleman Review” segment above to see the details of the HK USA CC9. “It comes with a lot of features packed into a small space,” former American Rifleman Editor in Chief Brian Sheetz said. “There’s a tritium front…

On Monday, July 13, President Donald Trump signed two executive orders with outsized impacts to federally-owned public lands in Utah. He shrank the size of Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante national monuments by about 90% each.The move is yet another action in a year-long back-and-forth over the national monuments, both of which were established under the Antiquities Act of 1906, which was enacted “to provide general legal protection of cultural and natural resources of historic or scientific interest on federal lands.”Grand Staircase-Escalante was established by President Bill Clinton in 1996 and later expanded to encompass 1.9 million acres. Bears Ears…
